K I still need someone to sit down with me and explain the whole "Covfefe" thing
Edit: in homeopathic sized doses, he is objectively hilarious and tolerable. But his word salads make me ~~wanna~~ needa self-cannabinalize
It was a tweet. He tweeted this absolute nonsense and everyone was like "wtf is he on drugs?"
That's it.
But like has anyone tried to explain or postulate what was meant specifically by covfefe, like what was the context?
Edit:
He probably just fat-fingered his phone with a half-written tweet open. If he'd just followed that up with "...coverage I'm actually the awesomest president ever blah blah blah" nobody would've noticed.
But instead it turned into this whole thing about how the tweet was meaningful and people were just too dumb to get it. Which just made him look ridiculous as usual.
I'm so glad I have male-ballerina fingers 😊
Yes. Many people have tried to explain it. Parts of the qult are claiming that it's a cure for the covid vaccine, (Co)Cobalt, (V)Vanadium, and two (Fe) iron.
Nah, its simple and I literally just explained it (as evinced by [the context of] his tweet)
That's what actually happened, yes. That doesn't mean that many people who worship him have not tried to find an explanation that means it was completely intentional, and I think it's worth knowing about how far people will go in his defence, even when it requires them to twist themselves into pretzels to defend something that would have been completely fine if he had just laughed it off.
I will never understand. Like how does anyone seriously politicize something that random and banal
Trump is a narcissist, he is incapable of admitting any flaw or fault, be it in an accidentally sent typo tweet, or letting the experts address a public health issue rather than pushing himself to the forefront and suggesting putting sterilizing lights into the body.
He actually did in his ShoppingChannel commercial today, the one with the Trump trading cards or whatever.
He referred to all the muscles the "artists" gave him that he definitely doesn't have IRL.
I was like "Holy Shit, did he just like self-deprecate for the first time in his life?!". I almost fell off my dinosaur!
Yeah, I caught that in a video from a content creator I watch. Not sure what to make of it, still thinking about it. Actual personal growth would be pretty surprising from the guy who kneecapped the pandemic response because he was worried he'd smear his makeup.
I mean it was midnight. So, I think he was trying to say something about despite a day of bad press coverage, coffee? Has allowed him to...
Fall asleep face first on his keyboard?
Idk.
Sometimes when you're getting up of the john you get that Vagus nerve thing where you 1/2-passout when getting up. Maybe that was it

He was on episodes of WWE wrestling, im pretty sure he just spelled "kayfabe" wrong
